A new crater was discovered in July, 1975 during reconnaissance geological mapping by a joint Bureau of Mineral Resources and Geological Survey of Western Australia field party in the southern part of the Canning Basin, Western Australia. The origin of the crater remains speculative. The possible alternatives are: a diapiric structure, a structure produced from a man-made explosion, a cryptovolcanic structure or a meteorite crater.
